Favorite time in Fashion: The 20's


Fashion has evolved many times in all of it's years. It has gone from corsets and dresses to more casual styles. My favorite time in fashion is the 1920's because the women in this era we becoming more adventurous with their fashion choices. During the 20's the dresses become more loose and women began to show more skin. The flappers were a very big part of this era because they were the ones who began to wear the fringe dresses, the beads and their t-strap shoes. I love the simplicity of the clothing that the women had they could either be very feminine with their dresses or be more boyish with their loose fitting suit. Men's fashion were much of the same they included the suit. The men's suit also the vest and the fedora was a must to finish the outfit. 



My favorite star of this era was Clara Bow the "It" girl of cinema. She had her own flare to the fashion. She was highly respected in her field of work. Clara was known for her untamed hair and her pout.



One of the designers who emerged during this era was Coco Chanel she is the woman credited with the "little black dress". She was a designer who did her own despite what everyone else was doing. She was a very independent woman who never looked to someone else to give her new design ideas. She my favorite designer of all time because of her simplistic views on fashion.


The 20's were an era of change for both fashion and society. They brought a lot of change to society due to prohibition and women's suffrage. Women became more independent they began to wear more revealing clothes and the way they acted in public.
